Kristaps Pozingis may not be New York's most popular man after the Knicks made him the No. 4 pick in the NBA Draft on Thursday, but the Latvian 7-footer may very well be the Big Apple's most interesting man.

In an extensive Q&A with the New York Post, Porzingis touched on everything from his favorite movie - which is Friday - to how he plans to pack on the pounds with loads of protein. But what Knicks fans want to know more than anything is how he plans to help the struggling basketball franchise.

"I want to have a long career in the NBA first, I want to be an All-Star, and hopefully one day I can win a ring with the New York Knicks," Porzingis said when asked what he wants his basketball legacy to be. "I think with me now, and (Jerian) Grant, we can hopefully change some things in the future, and make something special happen out of all this situation."

The Porzingis pick was reportedly met with disdain from Knicks star Carmelo Anthony, who later applauded the pick and referred to Porzingis as a "steal". And even if Anthony has similar concerns to those fans that cringed and booed when Adam Silver announced Porzingis as the Knicks pick, he just wants them to be patient.

"I will do everything's that's in my hands to be the best player I can be, and I will do whatever's in my hands to see that people were wrong and that Phil (Jackson) was right," Porzingis said. "Don't worry about me, my moment will come. I'll be ready for it, I will work hard, and whenever it's gonna come, whenever the coaches are gonna trust me, I'm gonna be on court and give 100 percent."

Porzingis also said he's dealt with a bit of culture shock in New York where "everybody's in such a rush." And fans can be sure he'll put in the work - he said he hasn't checked out New York women yet, even the blonde girls he claims to like a lot.
